Gas Burning Yellow Hi there.My van's (only recently purchased) gas burners on the hob are burning yellow and sooty. Is there a simple way of cleaning the jets or is it likely to be the regulator (looks pretty old). Thanks loads Aaron and Amelia ---------------------- |

Usually caused by excess air or low pressure in the system. What shape/size is the regulator?. Not on the lotto winners list to buy and they can go wrong. ---------------------- |

Thanks for that Bob. Just swapped over for a regulator I know works and doing the same thing. Also - I should have tried this before!!- but the grill burns fine, so that narrows it down to the two gas rings - they look pretty rusty - can I easily get replacements? Many thanks Aaron and Amelia |

If you take the unit out you can remove the burners from the hob- give them a good soak in coke and fettle out the air vents and see if that does the trick- did on mine!

On further inspection, the base of the burners are badly corroded (full of holes), so I am assuming that this is the reason for the problem. I can't seem to remove them however as they are that bad. There appears to be something that unscrews at the very base which is in gods condition, but I can't seem to get any proper purchase on it. I am assuming it unscrews anti-clockwise?? Shall I hit it with a hammer and screwdriver? Does anyone know where to look for replacement parts? Many thanks again. I really don't know what I would do without this amazing forum and all the fabulous people on it!! Best Aaron |
